From what I have heard it appears the firm Vandy hired to do the coaching search has said they would pick Mason over Morris. However, boosters, fans, etc. seem to be leaning more towards the Morris hire probably since it would be a little more flashy of a hire. They should be announcing their decision tomorrow. My gut says its Morris. I feel like he realizes he needs a stepping stone HC job before he could possibly land the big HC job he desires. Some claimed Vandy sports people on twitter are saying Morris is the man as well.

What did Franklin get paid? Morris makes like 1.3 million right now right?

One big advantage that Morris could have over Mason is that he has spent some time in the East Coast while at Clemson, recruiting southern states that are big SEC regions. He has established some good connections with high school coaches that he could maintain, while Mason would be starting over. Morris is also an offensive-minded coach like Franklin was, while Mason is a DC at Stanford: defense reigns in the SEC, but maybe the personnel on the Vandy roster is more suited for Morris to maintain the success Vandy has had in recent years better than what Mason would do...

"Here was James Franklin, a guy that despite his wins was still relatively un-established on a major scale, but yet David Williams had him at $3-plus million and was willing to give him more to keep him," CBSSports.com College Football Insider Jeremy Fowler said. "Other coaches are going to see that level of commitment and be very attracted to the job.

I honestly hope he leaves cause this happens every year. Would be good timing since we are replacing a lot of skill positions at offense. Guys are talented but new

Don't think he'll get the job, but you may be better off if he does as I would guess Clemson would try and get Lincoln Riley as his replacement. Now if Clemson tried to replace him with Jeff Scott, that would be another matter.

Seriously doubt they'll be better off. They are going to have to go fishing again and I doubt they land a guy as good as Morris. At that point, Dabo's deficiencies will start to manifest.
